Mozambique Mozambique's sprawling coastline and Archipelago islands are the jewels in the crown of a country with a rich cultural heritage blending its more recent Portuguese roots with earlier Arab, Persian and Chinese influence from pre 18th century trading in gold, ivory and slaves. Where else can you find a country mixing traditional African hospitality with a touch of Arab sophistication and a hint of Latin flavor, all in one country? With pristine beaches along its 2 800km front along the warm Indian Ocean, this stretch is emerging as one of Southern Africa's most exciting "new" destinations. From Maputo, the capital, to the idyllic islands of the Bazaruto Archipelago, Mozambique will delight and surprise visitors. A stay of 3 - 4 nights is a perfect extension to any Southern African experience. |
